Attributes shown in different color, .ctb problems?

I've done a search and surprised there is not this problem before!

I've received some drawings and they had a title block. All the writing was in black. However all the attributes are set as yellow.

My first thought was the .ctb file, or pen setting used.

Is anyone able to assist here. How do I select the new pen setting so that it shows in Black, not the yellow?

Alternatively is it possible to set the attributes so it all shows as black. Currently each individual attribute has its colour set to Yellow.

Many thanks,

Mark

Attached some photos to describe.

Old, shows how it was on the old server (which has been shut down now and all the data transfered)

New, shows how it is showing now

Assuming that these attributes have had their color changed from their bylayer setting;

Use the command SETBYLAYER.

If you want to set everything in the drawing to their respective layer color, do the following;

SETBYLAYER

ALL

(to accept the selection)

(to change the objects that are set to "byblock" to "bylayer")

(to include blocks)

Instead of typing in "ALL" to select everything, you can simply select the individual objects that you want to "SETBYLAYER"

If this is something that you may run into a bunch, we can help you make a macro or use a LISP to reset these color settings.

I have has similar problems in the past.

The company i used to work for used yellow on drawings for text attributes but set the print settings so that yellow prints in black.

could be a quick fix.
